[R18] Provoke (1V1H) – “Provocation (1V1H)” Chapter 217 Forced [English]

It just meant casually. Qin Qing felt relieved and dialed the Qin family’s phone number.

Soon the phone was picked up and a gentle female voice came.

“Who is it?”

Qin Qing recognized the owner of the voice and said after a moment of silence: “It’s me, Qin Qing, is my dad here? Let him listen to the phone.”

Her voice was obviously cold, and anyone could feel her displeasure with the other person.

Lin Xiu over there originally wanted to make some pretense of greetings, but when she heard Qin Qing directly asking Qin Wansheng to answer the phone, her hand holding the phone tightened slightly, but her face didn’t show any signs of strangeness. She smiled tolerantly and said, “Are you looking for your dad? Then wait a moment, I’ll call him.”

Then there was the sound of the microphone being gently placed on the table, and Lin Xiu’s footsteps were faintly heard.

Qin Qing held the phone and waited for a while with a calm expression. Then the microphone was picked up again, and Qin Wansheng’s calm voice came over, a little impatient and surprised.

“Qin Qing? Why did you call here suddenly? Did something happen between you and Shao Ming?”

It’s not surprising that Qin Wansheng was surprised, because after Qin Qing was forced to marry into the Gu family, apart from he who often called and sent messages to inquire about the situation, she almost never took the initiative to call. This can be said to be the first time.

Why are you calling? The only thing he can think of is that it has something to do with Gu Shaoming.

Qin Qing heard Qin Wansheng mentioning Gu Shaoming. Although he knew that he couldn’t hear, he glanced at him subconsciously, and then said to the phone: “Mr. Gu and I are going to Qin’s house to sit down.”

She paused and added before speaking, “We are on the way now, we should be there soon.”

Qin Wansheng’s ecstatic voice came from over there.

“Really? That’s great! But are you already on the way? Why didn’t you tell me earlier so that I could order more preparations in the kitchen? But it’s okay. You can order it now. Qin Qing, you did a good job this time.”

Apparently Qin Wansheng misunderstood and thought it was Qin Qing who asked Gu Shaoming to take her to Qin’s house. However, it was actually Gu Shaoming who brought her up, and it was Qin Qing himself who reluctantly brought it up.

However, Qin Qing didn’t mean to clarify. She responded in a low voice, showed no reaction to Qin Wansheng’s rare compliment, and hung up the phone first.

Qin Wansheng over there didn’t care. He put down the phone and hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare to welcome Gu Shaoming.

Qin Qing held the phone in his hand and was stunned for a while, then slowly put away the phone.

Every time she talks to the Qin family on the phone, she always feels a little worse.

Gu Shaoming glanced at Qin Qing lightly and said, “You are really blatantly dissatisfied with your stepmother’s attitude.”

Mentioning Lin Xiu, Qin Qing felt even more unhappy. She curled her lips and said, “Who makes me hate her? Do you want me to greet her with a smile?”

“But you also hate Qin Wansheng, don’t you?” Gu Shaoming raised his eyebrows.

Qin Qing was slightly startled when he heard this, and then lowered his eyelashes.

Indeed, even if Qin Wansheng is her only remaining relative, even if he is a family member who bleeds the same blood as her, her father, she still… hates him.

When he begged her to jump into the fire pit instead of Qin Qi, when he only saw the Qin family and Lin Xiu, mother and daughter, but turned a blind eye to her helplessness and vulnerability, she no longer had any expectations for the term father.

Qin Qing was not surprised that Gu Shaoming could see that although she and Qin Wansheng maintained a superficial peace and did not break up, her subtle attitude could also show some of her likes and dislikes.

Gu Shaoming meant nothing more than it was strange that she hated Qin Wansheng and Lin Xiu equally, but her attitude towards them was different. She didn’t even bother to maintain a semblance of effort towards Lin Xiu, and blatantly showed his dislike for her.

However, facing Lin Xiu, she just didn’t want to wrong herself…

Thinking of this, Qin Qing snorted lowly. His originally mocking behavior turned out to be very arrogant and aggrieved because of her weak voice.

She turned her eyes away from Gu Shaoming, but her tone was a bit willful and childlike: “Anyway, she is the one I hate the most, so I don’t want to smile at her at all. Does Mr. Gu think I am doing something wrong?”

How could she be friendly to the woman who had taken her mother’s position and was such a bad-intentioned woman?
